As the Rio Grande River flows red and attracts a growing hubbub of onlookers and media, the stories of 13 different Latina women unfold, their moments at this point in time connecting in back to the river. A woman gives birth on the bridge, another dies, one claims to the media that drinking the water grew her tooth back, others accidentally lose personal items in the river.
